Evening experts,
40 series guy here going to look at, maybe buy, and then drive home… my first 60 series tomorrow. A 1988 FJ62.
Biggest question I have right now is in regards to the EFI on these and types of fuel; Sounds like he’s been driving it daily and feeding it “regular” pump gas, presumably 87 octane ethanol. Should I just stick w/ that, at least for drive home? I’d ideally love to run some 91 non ethanol through it (yes it’s available where I live) Good idea/bad idea? What about 91 ethanol? Additionally, how about running some Sea Foam through a tank or two (be it 87 or 91)?
Total newbie to the 3F and its EFI. Considerable drive to get it home and I’m wanting my best chance at success and obviously not wanting to harm anything or create problems enroute.
Open to ANY and all other thoughts/concerns here. Fuel related or otherwise.
Also completely foreign to my 40 brain is the automatic transmission in these. Any intel/concerns there? (Other than their costly rebuild) What is a happy “highway speed” for them? Is 60-70 MPH asking too much? Thank you all in advance for the education as always.
